A unique roof design.

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle by telling me its builder, the date it was built, its engine and its base.

Time for a hint: this is its builder with another self-built vehicle

It was so familiar. Christoph Utech and his three-wheeler is on the 2nd picture

The first picture shows a Graf-Stift V7D bus he converted into a caravan in the 1950s. The picture shows how it looked like in 1991
Engine was a 6-cylinder Mercedes-Benz unit

You are right about the bus and its builder. I accept the date as it was built from 1957 to 1964, but the engine used by Utech was another one. Locked for you.

Sorry, I wasn't reading the article carefully. the Merc engine was replaced by a Hanomag D19 diesel engine

Yes, with enormous 19.8 hp!

Well done, another point to you, Pal.
